Looking for Volunteers to Help with Dog Park Opening and Closing

[Gwyn J.]

Hi Everyone --

I hope you're enjoying this amazing weather, unlike our unfortunate neighbors to the south, to whom we wish our very best.

People have been coming and going in the neighborhood, and I'm hoping that now that people's Fall schedules are settling in, we can expand our Gate Brigade ranks.

For those of you who many not have heard of the Gate Brigade, it's a stalwart team volunteers who unlock and lock the the dog park gates and also work to make sure it's clear of any trash or dog poop that may have been deposited unnoticed by distracted owners. ;-)

It really only takes a few minutes, and it really is an important service to our dog-loving community and the community at large as we look to provide a safe place for non-aggressive dogs to play off-leash. We are looking for people who are willing to do one of the following:

1) Open the park one morning a week

2) Close the dog park one evening a week (Monday-Thursday)

3) Be on a rotation for weekend evening closings (since no one wants to give up EVERY Friday, Saturday or Sunday night!)

4) Be willing to sub for a regular opener or closer who has a conflict due to travel or other commitment.

If you are willing and able to help out, please email me. Thanks!
